Google July 4th Logo Answers The Question: When is Independence Day?

Today’s Google logo celebrates this year’s Independence Day with an interactive image of an illustrated family of dogs road tripping across the US.

Set on the background of a paper map like your dad may have used before Google Maps, stars highlight trip locations across the country to spell out “Google” with an old style station wagon driving along the route.

The logo includes a slide show of family vacation photos from the Golden Gate bridge, through the Redwood National Forest, and Mount Rushmore to New York City. Clicking on the logo after the final picture takes users to the search results page for the question “When is Independence Day?”.

Google has marked the Fourth of July holiday with a special Google logo since 2000 to commemorate the signing of The Declaration of Independence on July 4, 1776.

My message was deleted because I am not a liberal falling in line and told the truth about what really transpired in regard to Californias Proposition 8. The voters were cheated not defeated. Comments are supposed to start conversation and mine would have, honest conversation that is. Same sex marriage is being tyranically forced upon Californians plain and simple. Their constitutional rights have been stripped by their attorney general who refused to do the job he was elected to do which is defend their constituants vote. If you or I refused to do our job what would happen to us? We would be fired and replaced.
